Pie ...

A pie can be sweet or savory. You can have a chicken pot pie (savory) or a delicious pecan pie (sweet).

Cake is ... well ... cake. Boooooring.

Pie, in its diversity, pwns all.

Well, it would originally have been served so that no part of the animal was wasted, and I guess some people just developed a taste for it. I have no idea why. :rolleyes:

Pie.

While cake is very delicious, it's only good to have once in awhile, or it looses it's charm.

Pie on the other hand... one cannot tire of pie. Pie is mighty and delicious, as well as being healthier than cake. One could survive on a variety of pies. Less so with cake.

Though you have raised some good points with your post, you are still missing the point. The existance of meat pie is questionable at best. I'd like to see some sources and perhaps a sample. Also, the defense of your posts doesn't show competence when you are defending ignorance. Shame on you.

If you insist.

Try this (http://www.godecookery.com/goderec/grec11.htm), and this, (http://www.meatpiefestival.com/) and this, (http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/3/2/191812/1109) and this (http://oaktreedollshouseminiatures.com/Meat-pie.jpg), and this (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=meat%20pie), and the first paragraph from the wikipedia article on pie.

A pie is a baked dish, with a baked shell usually made of pastry that covers or completely contains a filling of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, cheeses, creams, chocolate, custards, nuts, or other sweet or savoury ingredient. Pies can be either "one-crust," where the filling is placed in a dish and covered with a pastry/potato mash top before baking, or "two-crust," with the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell. Some pies have only a bottom crust, generally if they have a sweet filling that does not require cooking. These bottom-crust-only pies may be known as tarts or tartlets. One example of a savoury bottom-crust-only pie is a quiche. Tarte Tatin is a one-crust fruit pie that is served upside-down, with the crust underneath. Blind-baking is used to develop a crust's crispiness, and keep it from becoming soggy under the burden of a very liquid filling. If the crust of the pie requires much more cooking than the chosen filling, it may also be blind-baked before the filling is added and then only briefly cooked or refrigerated.which can be found here (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=meat%20pie).

Gotta be Pie. Coconut Cream, Blackberry, Cherry, or my favourite Pumpkin (made with a cheesecake filling layer). Cake’s got nothing! Nothing I tell you.
